My Mines seem to HAVE to collapse
My Mines seem to HAVE to collapse before my geologist can find new deposits. I have put mines to sleep right down to the last piece of ore,
and repeatedly sent my geologist off to find every mineral we have. Even if I have only 1 mine operating I have to let them collapse before
more ore can be found. I am getting tired of losing my licenses this way. Am I doing something wrong? Any kind suggestions are welcome.
Yes, mines do have to deplete/collapse before you send out the geologist to find the deposit again. You do not lose a building license, as they are returned when the mine depletes. The exception would be stone/marble quarries, as they do not require a building license. Only the mason uses a building license in that situation.
Also, you can demolish the mines without waiting for them to collapse. This has two advantages. First, you recover 1/4 of the material you used to build the mine. Second, you can send the geologists out to look for new deposits on your schedule rather than having to wait for the mines to deplete. As a general rule, any time the mine is below 20% of it's starting capacity it is a candidate for being demolished cost effectively.
If they are low before you go to sleep, you can demolish and rebuild.
Still around from time to time.
Thank you all for the information it makes a lot of sense now LOL I am grateful to you all!
quick question regarding the Achievement "Home Island, Lay of the Land" How does one get the geo with the "Lucky Find" skill locate the mysterious NEW MINE? All my mines are discovered at this point, and I am trying to complete the achievement. How do I get the skilled geo to FIND the extra mine? Justa a hint please?
